About jazz? Introduce, by the way, introduce some songs!

Jazz is a form of music that originated in Africa and developed from folk songs. Jazz presents a scene of prosperity in various forms. Its music style is extremely dazzling, and its rhythm is generally bright and powerful, from the roots of blues and ragtime, through New Orleans jazz to Dixieland jazz, swing music, mainstream jazz, Bibop, modern jazz to free jazz and electronic jazz. Compared with other music, jazz has many unique features:

Jazz instruments 1) improvise or sing.

2) Use the blues scale

3) The complexity of jazz rhythm.

4) Unique jazz chords

5) Unique timbre application

The organization of the band is very flexible, and the most basic part is two parts-rhythm group and melody group. In early jazz bands, the rhythm group consisted of bass, banjo and drums. Later, bass and banjo were gradually replaced by bass and guitar, and the piano was also added. In 1930s, a dance band appeared, which was called "Big Band" at that time. It consists of three parts: rhythm group, brass group and woodwind group. The musical instruments used in the rhythm group are still bass, guitar, piano and drum; The common compilation of copper tube group is three trumpets and two trombones, but this figure is not fixed; A woodwind band usually consists of four or five saxophones, and everyone plays clarinet or other woodwind instruments at the same time. If it is composed of five saxophones, it is generally two alto, two alto and one alto jazz. There is also a business band (sometimes called "Sweet" and "Hotel", etc. ), similar to the "big band", but saxophones are often all alto, and woodwind groups will use more other instruments (such as flute and oboe), sometimes with three or four violins. The sound of this band can often be heard on commercial tapes.

Compared with traditional music, another major feature of jazz is its pronunciation and timbre, which is enough for people to never confuse them with the timbre of any traditional music, whether it is an instrument or a human voice. Most of these features come from imitating African-American folk songs with musical instruments or sounds. If we have the opportunity to listen to the real black field songs and soul songs, we will find that the great changes from coarse to fine, from boring to loud, from harsh to soft, from barbarism to lyricism are so distinctive and touching.
